Just Joined a Locavore Challenge...

My friend Jenny invited me to take a locavore challenge in which she is team captain. I had some time today and check it out. There a different levels that you can join in, to support, and become part of the local eating challenge. When you register you can choose from 3 levels, Bite Size, Feast Size, or Meal Size. I jumped right in with the meal size challenge. It means doing three challenges from three different areas, here's what the areas are and the challenges I chose:

Cook Grow Eat:

Can Or Preserve Summer Foods (done)

Shop at a local Farm stand (done and continue to do)

Compost kitchen Scraps (done)

Grown and Herb Garden (I have an indoor kit I really need to get going)

So there you go. I didn't need anything else to do, but I have already completed some of these actions and intend to do them all before September 30, 2011. If you would like to join the movement you can register here.

Special Thanks!

Just wanted to add a note of special thanks to my children, Zach, Ariana and Nikolas and my nephews William, Scott and David, for the use of their adorable toes in the photo on my new header! I know it was such torture to take these pictures however, I thank you, even though not one of the 300 plus photos I took has all of you looking in even close to the same direction! I love all of you just the same!
